The really cool way to do this kind of thing would be
through a bit-torrent file-sharing system like Pirate
Bay, but that is probably more commitment to Darknet
operations than most BA folks would be comfortable
with.  A kludgy way of doing this would be to maintain
a list of people with: (a) a legal, paper copy of a manual,
(b) a scanner and (c) a valid e-mail address, and then let
what transpires between individuals happen.

This development has certainly made up my mind about
getting a good flatbed scanner and "deconstructing"
the pristine Heathkit manuals I have.

However, it has totally destroyed one of my favorite
pastimes -- downloading Heathkit manuals just for the
pleasure of browsing through them and tracing out
the circuitry in the schematics.
